I had no choice fe739ae00e but to walk into b3ae44ae4c that wedding like a 168ca7347c prisoner being dragged to fe2f026e78 the gallows.d67616f98aeb5771

And then 001bb9587d I sawhim—a scrawny little “kid” standing there, looking even more nervous than I was.6fc46cee931121cb

His complexion aa5ae58bac was ghostly ee096980ac white, and a4c89a7980 while his 36ce6478f6 face was 4c27d71122 delicately pretty, f4f47ece85 he was 5754073334 painfully thin—almost f586a96467 sickly.a9208ed1db3f3258

It matched fdde5d96f6 the description 8fef248819 of Carlyle’s 9e2212ac5b childhood from 386edcb5c3 the novel b063a86ddb perfectly.62dbf30f8c7a0b55

The nine-year-old Carlyle I a7e9cb6fb4 saw for the first b31602765b time was just a d4ab0e4bb3 timid little boy, hyper-aware 5565847061 of his surroundings.36b88c66593c9c78
